Note: The cooker will automatically start after 5 seconds of inactivity, so do not delay when setting up the time and temperature. - Once the time and temperature are set, the cooker will automatically enter start mode and 4 red dashes will display and begin. Once the correct pressure has been reached, the set time will display and beginto count down.
Note: During the initial cooking cycle,it is normal for air to release from the floater valve for 10 to 20 seconds. After the cold air is expelled, the remaining interior air temperature increases and the float valve will close. - After pressure cooking is complete, the cooker will beep and enter “Keep Warm” mode while the cooker is naturally releasing pressure. Be sure to press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button to turn off the “Warm”. CAUTION: If the lid does not open easily, there is still pressure inside the DO NOT open the lid by force.
- The pressure can be released manually using the pressure release Always use caution when manually releasing pressure as hot steam will be released from the valve. If a recipe states that the pressure needs to be released on its own, let the cooker sit for 10-30 minutes depending on the number of contents inside the unit. Be sure to press the pressure release button before attempting to open the lid.
WARNING: Do not release steam manually with recipes containing liquid such as soups or stews. If the cycle has not been completed, press the Keep Warm/ Cancel button and unplug the cooker to allow the pressure to release naturally. - There is no pressure in the cooker when :
- The unit is in warm mode
- The pressure and steam escaping from the valve is no longer audible
- The lid opens easily without force
- Remove the lid by twisting from the lid handle. The lid will not open unless all the pressure has been released. Never force open the lid. If it does not open freely, it is still under pressure.
- To prevent over-cooking, press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button to turn the “Warm” mode off.
